How to choose

All 3 tours run on the Mrežnica River near Plitvice Lakes National Park, but they differ in price, duration and intensity. At 30 €, Go Explore Croatia's 4h canoraft is the longest trip and the best value on the water. Discover Mrežnica covers the same river in 3h for 50 €, a solid mid-range option still open to everyone. At 70 €, Raftrek Travel's packrafting experience steps up the physical demand with individual inflatable rafts, which explains the premium and the "occasionally sporty" rating. Choose the 4h option for maximum river time on a budget. Go with packrafting if you want a more technical, hands-on challenge.
